Well, to make things easier, you can simply double tap on the back of your iPhone to take a screenshot. Scroll down to read how you can do it easily.

The process to take a screenshot by trouble tapping on the back of your iPhone has been around for a long time. If you have an iPhone 8 or newer model running Apple's iOS 14 or newer version, you can simply use the new accessibility feature called Back Tap. Back Tap makes use of the accelerometer to detect if you have tapped the back of your iPhone. You have the option to configure two or three taps to initiate different actions.

Normally, you are required to press the Volume Up button and the Power/Side button simultaneously in order to take a screenshot on your iPhone.
